  Protective Efficacy of Caralluma diffusa Methanolic Crude Extract against High-fat Diet (HFD) Induced Fatty Liver Obesity in Albino Wistar Rat

  By M. Karthik Prabu, P. Samydurai, V. Thangapandian

  Abstract: Background and Objective: The present study was undertaken to examine the attenuative effect of Caralluma diffusa methanolic extract against high-fat diet (HFD) induced hyperlipidemic/obesity in the liver of rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided in to five groups of each containing six rats. The Group I: served as normal control; Group II: served as high-fat diet (50 mg/kg body weight); Group III served as high-fat diet + 100 …

  In Vitro Callus Induction of White Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) ‘Casperita’ (F1 Hybrid) through Difference Explants

  By Worasitikulya Taratima, Thunyarad Cherdchoo, Narisa Kunpratum, Pitakpong Maneerattanarungroj

  Abstract: White pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) ‘Casperita’ (F1 Hybrid) is a popular pumpkin in many countries, however, it produces unfertile seeds. The current study determined the appropriated concentrations of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) on callus induction using various explants as hypocotyl, epicotyl, cotyledons, petiole, and leaf. Sterilized explants were cultured on MS media with various concentrations of 2,4-D (0 and 2 mg/L) and BAP (0, 0.1, 0.3 and …

  Imminent Bioperspectives of Aromatic Plant Leaf Extracts from Cinnamomum tamala and its Biopesticidal Potential against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst.)

  By S. Sujatha, Anakha K. L., Bency Babu C.S., Keerthi M. P., Krishna Priya S., Anushma B. Nair

  Abstract: present research work concluded that when the C. tamala leaf extract of five various solvents revealed that acetone extract possessed potential biopesticidal efficiency because it contains the cinnamaldehyde and linalool like compounds present in the same extract. Totally eleven compounds are elucidated from the leaf (acetone extract) through a GCMS analysis. It was almost conformed that these two aldehyde and aromatic carboxylic acid groups were presented in the acetone extract …

  Productivity of wheat as influenced by seeding rate and split application of nitrogen at Parwanipur, Bara

  By P. Shah, M. K. Shah, A. Shrestha, B. Thapa

  Abstract: Field experiments were conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Parwanipur, Bara, Nepal during winter seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 to assess the effect of seed rate and time of nitrogen application on wheat. The experiment consisted of three levels of seed rate (100, 120 and 140 kg ha-1) and three levels of split application of nitrogen viz. 2 splits ( ½ dose of N at basal + ½ at …
